Good morning all. Hope you are all ticketyboo.
Its been a busy old week with helping John, hospital appointment, dentist, more samples for John and I did manage to squeeze in a lunch with a friend.
Tomorrow is another Coventry workshop with John (if any one fancies coming along, please let me know) and then Sunday, I shall put my feet up and watch the Singapore GP...............and John on Hochanda, of course lol!!!
Its handy having a smart TV now as when Hochanda disappears off Freeview at 7pm, the TV automatically connects to the internet and I can carry on watching rather than having to use the laptop or tablet and the buffering. If only it would do the vacuuming and washing, it would be very smart.
Jayne, glad to hear the knee op is out of the way. Hope that the recovery is swift and with minimal pain.
Stephanie, hope that the hurricanes have not caused any problems for you or your family.
Now, back to the card. When I was playing with John's Small Lantern (that is not a euphemism for anything lol!!!) I thought it looked a little like a bay window......my head works in mysterious ways. I decided on a Christmas theme.
Ingredients
White, platinum, red and green card
JND Small Lantern dies
Daisy's Jewels and Crafts Brick Wall stencil
Bling on a string from my website
"Snow"
Its definitely a hand over in person card for those who don't want the extra postage cost.
First sight of condensation in the windows yesterday morning so I guess chilly times are on their way. I can get a touch of Raynauds in Summer if I'm ferreting in the freezer so I guess its time to dig out the woolly socks and mittens
Now as mittens rhymes with kittens (a tenuous link) its time to wish Lily and Molly "Happy Birthday" today as they celebrate their first birthday...........hip hip hooray!!!
So in their honour, some kitty pics to sign off with.
Love you Girlies.
Have a great weekend all.

An interesting use of John’s lantern die. You are so imaginative! Hope the workshop goes well - will be celebrating my Mum’s 98th birthday this weekend.

ReplyDeleteHi Ang,
ReplyDeleteoh you could warn a girl about expanding the phtos of your Birthday girls I got quite shock to see them staring at me so I can see why they would see off any wart peeps.
Love your wonderful card and what a super idea the bay window design.
It looks very stunning and such a great card even if it has to be given by hand or you could make a box for it.
Thanks for the info about the smart TV didn't know that.
Hope all went well at the hospital.
Wish I lived nearer so I could attend a workshop.
Lots of crafty love and hugs, Jenny L.
Hello Ang,
ReplyDeleteFab card, I remember John remarking on it during his show and he even pointed out the Christmas tree in the window. I hope all went well at the hospital, and the workshop is a success.
All pretty kitties have their birthdays in September, we are virtuous Virgo's!!!
Stay warm, enjoy John and the F1, but not necessarily in that order ha ha.
